Wedding Party
April Lynn Deptula
Maid of Honor
April is quick witted and not too snarky. She almost aways sees a way to get things done, and when needed she has the charm of Jessica Rabbit. Maid of Honor may be being under employed for her, but she will help make the magic happen.
Caitlin Love Deptula
Maid of Honor
Caitlin will be one of Official Church Witnesses for the ceremony. Caitlin works on her own schedule and with rule numbers that you may have never heard (NCIS, anyone?). Beautiful, sweet and charming. But let that RSVP come in late and it is between you and the Wolverine.
Lauren Ann Hermes Berke
Bridesmaid
Lauren is Judith's niece and does not live too far, which is an important quality in a bridesmaid. She also looks great in Jade. She just completed her first trip to WDW in the last 6 months so she knows how to pose for photos (and she might have gotten the Disney bug that all Deptula's have).
Katherine Mae Berke
Flower Girl
Katherine will function as head flower girl. She is bright and imaginative. She also just completed her First Holy Communion at Queen of All Saints Basilica in Chicago on May 4, 2019.
Evelyn Vi Hermes
Flower Girl
Evelyn is one a trio of Flower Girls and you will usually find her coloring and drawing to her hearts content. Evie hails from Wisconsin and will be the out of town talent. She is the eldest child of Mike Hermes, Co Best Man.
Margaret Ann Berke
Flower Girl
Margaret is the youngest of the flower girls. However she loves to take the lead role. At 5 she thinks like a 30 something. I guess they call that pragmatic. Pragmatic Maggie with the beautiful smile. Politics? Anyone?
Kim Robert Deptula
Best Man
Kim will be one of the official church witnesses for the ceremony. Kim Robert Deptula is the eldest son of Robert Deptula. Kim will be showing a piece of his art at the Misericordia Artist in All event in May at the Art Institute of Chicago.
